IMPROVEMENT IN PUMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 210,169, dated November 19, 1878; application filed October 19, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN O. Tires, of Marion, in the county of Marion and State of Ohio, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The figure of the drawing is a representa' tion-pipe below the valves. Leading from the suction is a vacuum-chamber, D, which extends perpendicularly npward to a point as high as or higher than the valves B in the body A. 0 represents the inlet, and G the outlet. E represents the plunger-cylinder, and F the plunger. These portions are of any ordinary shape and construction.

The important feature of my invention is the construction and arrangement of the vacuum-chamber D and its relation to the pump.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure.

by Letters Patent, is

The suction-pipe of a pump having the thimble or section A provided with the concussionchamber D, operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

JOHN (J. TITUS.
